About Yellow risotto

Yellow Risotto, also known as Risotto alla Milanese, is a creamy Italian dish originating from Milan. Its signature golden hue comes from saffron, a prized spice known for its antioxidant properties. Made with Arborio or Carnaroli rice, the dish typically includes ingredients like chicken or vegetable broth, white wine, butter, onion, and Parmesan cheese. The slow cooking process releases starches from the rice, creating a rich and velvety texture. Yellow Risotto can be a wholesome option, offering complex carbohydrates, some protein, and nutrients from saffron. However, its richness stems from butter and cheese, making it high in fats, though these can be moderated for a lighter version. Pairing it with vegetables or lean protein enhances its nutritional balance, making it a delightful and versatile choice for special occasions or as a fragrant comfort food.
